Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama just dropped a telling remark about the yen's recent wild swings. According to her, it's pretty obvious these moves aren't tracking fundamentals anymore. When currency markets start ignoring the basics—trade flows, interest rate differentials, you know, the usual suspects—things get interesting. And messy. For those watching global liquidity and risk appetite (which definitely includes crypto folks), disconnects like this tend to signal something brewing beneath the surface. Worth keeping an eye on how this plays out.

Is the yen's volatility no longer following the fundamentals? This is ridiculous... When the market starts to discard the economics textbooks, we crypto players need to stay alert.

The operation of the yen this time is outrageous, completely detached from the fundamentals. To be honest, I'm a bit anxious.

The yen is starting to play tricks again, and the level of absurdity can be said to be getting more and more outrageous.
